How to take a common base and turn it into something else.

chesslo · Post by **chesslo** » November 13th, 2008, 5:01 am

For me to make a common base into something new i would have to first decide what i am designing then do some rough sketches of what you want it to look like on the paper. After i would have a look which type of paper shape would fit into the design and look at the paper proportion and start planning what goes where and try to use the most of the paper possible!

no, have not designed in awhile now, and we should not get off topic!

well GET THE E-book (for me) and now back on topic : i have been thinking of a couple of e-books to make, a few might be "a study of the bird base" and other study of blank base also i want to make a CP e-book with steps for solving cps to help warm people up to cps (to help me and others) and have puzzles in it. (like if a paper is folded like so and a hole is put here where will the holes be when it is unfolded)

Following the line of modification of common bases, this is my last creation and it is a variation of the classic waterbomb base

Have you bought Origami Sea Life? A lot of Montroll's fishes in that book come from the waterbomb base.

no i dont have that book. but i do have his birds and bugs in origami. I also have the joy of origami but that one doesnt have any common theme.

No I didn't.
This fish is the final (?) version of my really first fish design of 24 years ago.
I've added the scales following the suggestions find in ODS by R. Lang, but using a molecula a little different to try to minimize the involved paper.
